CVERCTT. \VASMINGTON � ���-�`y ,% <br />..�� .�.,.:. � . . . . _. _.......- <br />An Electrical Inspection was made ar. 1722 Hoyt as you requested. The iollowing <br />cor. 'itions �oere found; <br />Tlie panel had at one time Ueen protected with fuse sCats as evidence of the <br />mangled bases that are left. Puse stats and non-tamperable must be used, All <br />fuses in the panel toere 30 amper rated on taire that is a�.proved for 15 amp. <br />Circuits were doubled up on the fuses. Tl�is is not permitcAd by code. lioth <br />panels are in the locaer aparCment and violates tlte code rule of having the <br />service available to each tenant, Tliere were insuff.icient num;er c` ouL•lets <br />in the apartments whicli caused the use of extention cords. Of th� five rooms <br />in eacli of the apartments, I found three outlets upstairs and four outleLs down <br />stairs. The light fixture in Che downstairs aparCment liad been removed because <br />of tlie insulation burned off the fixture wire. The two exposed wires have <br />been added to the original house wiring and of what I could see, it is not <br />acceptable to code. <br />The upper apartment is fed off one circuit only. There are no appliance circuits <br />and also a lack of outlets. As a �ohole, I do not feel the house is adaquately <br />wired to Ue used as a duplex. <br />Larger size panels sliould be installed for both apartments in addition to nore <br />outlets in each, <br />Respectfully <br />L.
